18 inch figure and an artbook.... now that's a good CE.
xbone exclusive though..... rejoice ! xbone preorderers!

Not quite xbox one exclusive, 360 and PC versions are also available.

If the statue looks anywhere near that good $250 is a great price.

What do you mean?




Available for 3 launch platforms (XB1, X360, and PC)

There will certainly be less XB1 made versus the other two considering the install bases so the XB1 version will likely be "rarer"

Thought it's worth mentioning this

Important Shipping Information:

Your game will arrive separately from your box of goodies. The goods will ship by ground in advance of the game's release, regardless of which shipping option you choose. All games will ship the day before release date (March 11, 2014 in North America and beginning March 13, 2014 in Europe). Selecting overnight shipping means you should get your game on release date, but your box will still ship by ground (since it ships early though, there's a really good chance you get the stuff ahead of the release date). Beaming the whole thing to you from space on demand ended up involving a staggering amount of red tape, so we had to scale back a bit and make do with regular shipping channels.

So like how the Dead Space 3 Dev Edition was done

Since the statue is numbered I really would like to know how much of them will be produced

[Letrico]

I don't understand why are they allowed to mark up price according to country while selling and dispatching from US. The only reason it is 150 more expensive in Australia is tax plus shipping but I'm willing to bet I have to add another 100-200 for shipping.

Outrageous

You know Letrico you make salient points that should be discussed and I agree the pricing is atrocious especially if it's all coming from the same warehouse or group of warehouses

But I always think of you like your avatar




It's effing adorable

Haha I'm too adorable for serious discussion. This issue was always debated here since we get 1.5x mark up price while the retailers blame it on Australian GST and RRP by vendor.

In this case it looks like the vendor is EA and respawn and I don't see any reason for the mark up since it is goods not sold in Australia and I should not be paying local tax its illegal.

Same goes to the euro and pound price. How could they add VAT into the price when they are actually just importing goods. Members from UK will get slapped another 50-100 import fee on top of an item that they have already paid VAT and import duties as that is what local price includes.

Edit eh I missed one thing. It will be available from retailers as well. Price from retailers I understand but not their price for international order from their own website

[LyricalOne]

Meh, that price.

But dang that statue, it's very tempting.

As for international friend, I would offer to help you out since $250 beats 299eur/299gbp but shipping alone will probably be like 120 if not more
